Chapter 10, Problem 72AP
The rather simple circuit shown below is known as a voltage divider. The symbol consisting of three horizontal lines is represents “ground” and can be defined as the point where the potential is zero. The voltage divider is widely used in circuits and a single voltage source can be used to provide reduced voltage to a load resistor as shown in the second part of the figure, (a) What is the output voltage Vout of circuit (a) in terms of

The resistance and the capacitance can be written in the differential equation for Q or VC, to appear only multiplied together. The product RC is called the "time constant", the "average lifetime", the "lifetime" in an abuse of language, and (sometimes by me) the "1/e-life ".
Suppose the voltage VC is initially 8 div, and is exponentially dropping. Calculate VC (also in div) when t = RC:
R = 0.7 kΩ
C = 2.4 μF
Consider the circuit shown in the figure, where the power received by the resistor R is12.5 W. What are the possible (larger and smaller) values of R (find both), if ΔV = 75.0 V?
Compute for the voltage Vac in the circuit shown below.
